Last Breath
The Rulings on Death, Rites & Inheritance
Sh. Abu Eesa NiamatullahInstructor
Whether it’s the passing of a loved one or your own last breath, will you face that moment with clarity?
What you'll walk away with
The entire roadmap to navigate death the Islamic way: practically, spiritually and emotionally.
- Legal stances on modern issues, like organ donation, induced comas, palliative care, life support and abortion
- The technical definitions of “life” and “death”, and the stages of death
- The etiquettes of visiting the sick, and the sunnah vs innovation in that regard
- What to do to ease your loved one’s transition
- The sunnahs to follow after death: how to console, react and behave around those who have lost someone
- Grieving, the rulings on mourning time, and how to increase the reward of the one who has passed
- The step-by-step process of how to wash and shroud the deceased, male or female
- The legal rulings revolving around the Janazah prayer, and how it is to be performed
- The etiquette of following the Janazah and accompanying it to the burial
- Burial issues of time and place: when it should happen, where, and what to avoid
- The etiquette of visiting the graveyard and related rulings: frequency, the permissibility of travelling to a grave, and women’s issues
- An overview of the inheritance system, and how to calculate it in your time of need
Are you ready to say goodbye?
That moment when it feels like the world has been pulled from under your feet.
You lose someone you love, and you’re thrust straight into handling it while you’re still trying to process it all: the paperwork, the funeral arrangements, being the strong shoulder for everyone else while regret, longing and worry tear you up inside.
And amidst it all, you begin to wonder…
- Do I even remember what to recite in the Janazah?
- They want me to do the ghusl… but how?
- What do we do about their debts? And the inheritance?
- The last thing you want is to be searching for answers then

From students
“It was an amazing experience having Abu Eesa teach this class. Because of his background he can relate to a lot of the bid’ah that happens, and he was able to teach us in light of the Quran and Sunnah. What I also like about the Shaykh is that he doesn’t bring only one scholar’s opinion or one school of thought; he brings the opinions of all four imams with their rulings and proofs. Amazing Shaykh, mashaAllah. May Allah bless him and his family.”

“I have been a student with AlMaghrib for more than 3 years now and this is by far the most loaded seminar. It was full of information, different scenarios and points of view from the Islamic schools of thought. JazakAllahu khayran Shaykh Abu Eesa for this magnificent seminar!”
